Wiki

A wiki is an online place where we can publish our work and edit eachother's pages. When you get to start the wiki, it will be very fun. There is a competition for the icon and banner. On the wiki you can get your newsletters, spelling lists, and D's. There are some links that take you to cool websites on the wiki. Your wiki's name will be Trubyville 3. On your wiki account you can add widgets to your student page. Widgets are games and music that you can get off of www.widgetbox.com. Sometimes Mrs. T. will give you questions and you can e-mail the answer to her on the wiki for coupons. There are many things you can and can't do.

What you can do:

  • e-mail everybody at the same time
  • look over each others pages and edit them
  • post discussion comments on each page
  • embed pictures and games on your student page
  • embed Voice Thread and Google Video

What you can't do:
  • e-mail each other individually
  • embed Youtube videos
  • put new pages on the navigation bar
  • be on someone else's account
  • share personal information
  • add your last name on the wiki


SlideRocket

SlideRocket is an online PowerPoint system that you can use anywhere. SlideRocket is used for PowerPoint presentations and class projects. We used SlideRocket for the first time last year for the Unsolved Mysteries project. There are a lot of fun things to do on SlideRocket.

SmartBoard & Laptops

Mrs. T. will do D.O.L. and estimation jar on the SmartBoard. You can use the laptops to help with D's or you can play on them if all of your work is done. Mrs. T. will explain most of your projects on the SmartBoard. When you sign the Computer Safety Slip for computer lab it also counts for the laptops.
